Now finding the exam centre has become much simpler as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has launched a mobile app for students of Class 10 and 12 appearing for their board exams this year. The app, called The Exam Locator App, facilitates in locating exam centres on the basis of the students’ roll numbers.

CBSE class 10 and 12 board examinations are set to begin on March 9, 2017 and there is a last minute rush to get everything in place. Once the roll number is entered, the app shows the location of the exam centre on images and with accordance to the geo location.

“A student can easily find the address, images and geolocation of the designated exam centre on the map and get to know how to reach there,” a senior official of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) said.

The app will have information on about 4000 CBSE Board exam centers..
